Austin-based software company Pingboard Inc. has a new CEO, according to a March 31 announcement: Laith Dahiyat.
Dahiyat previously was general manager of Weedmaps, a software and data company focused on the legal cannabis industry. He has more than 20 years of experience in enterprise software and e-commerce. Before his role at Weedmaps, he served for nearly two years in multiple roles at the San Antonio-headquartered billing and revenue management software company Chargify LLC.
Pingboard's software creates digital organizational charts for companies, allowing employees to see who reports to who and learn more about their colleagues . It was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Bill Boebel, who as CEO grew the business to serve more than 2,500 businesses internationally, according to the announcement, which adds that the company became profitable in 2020.
Boebel will remain with the company as an adviser and member of the board of directors, while co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Rob Eanes will remain where he is, leading engineering.
Pingboard has raised $7.5 million in three seed rounds, the most recent of which was in 2018. San Antonio's Active Capital as well as Austin-based Silverton Partners and Capital Factory have invested in the company, as well as New York-based Betaworks and several Austin-area angel investors.
Dahiyat said Pingboard was an exciting tech company in the human resources tech space and he was looking forward to showcasing new products.
"The pandemic accelerated the adoption of software to help People Ops leaders retain and engage their newly remote workforce," he said. "The team at Pingboard has been working on some very important developments to further help companies."
